Jpmorgan Foreclosure Fraud?

"Lawyers in Florida and New York, among other states, have halted foreclosures and evictions by showing affidavits were faulty. Attorneys general in Texas, Iowa and Illinois have started investigations into mortgage practices at GMAC Mortgage following last week’s revelations. California has ordered the company to prove its foreclosures are legal or halt them.

If the documents are shown to be false after a home has already been resold by a bank, that casts doubt on who is the rightful owner, said O. Max Gardner III, an attorney at law firm Gardner & Gardner PLLC in Shelby, North Carolina, who has represented homeowners in fighting foreclosures and has cases pending against JPMorgan."

This role will primarily focus on the development of Municipal market derivatives pricing and risk management functionality in New York.

VBA/Excel based suite of spreadsheets. The Municipal and Fixed Income desk price derivatives like interest rate swaps, basis swaps,BMA and other index derivatives, swaptions,caps and floors. Municipal desk focuses on the Municipal debt market instruments.


- Working alongside trading, structuring and sales desks to build pricing sheets and components leveraging off the bank’s Quantitative Analytic libraries.

- Build out new pricers as to support end of day P&L and Risk generation for new Municipal products.
- Helping develop the strategy for the pricing needs of the business going forward, including integration with other systems and moving away from VBA into other languages like C#.

One of the real positives of the role is that candidates work on a wide range of derivative products and work closely with traders and the quants. As a result staff often move to roles with sales and trading after a number of years with the team.

The candidate also must have the proven ability to pick up new skills quickly, whether a new asset class or programming language.

We are willing to look at candidates with at least 3 years experience which is in the "right" area and very relevant to this role.

Candidates must be strong in three areas, technical programming ability with VBA and Excel; business skills in an applicable asset class; and analytical ability.

However we’re not looking for quants with programming skills, but more for analytical developers who can deliver working risk & pricing solutions to the desk which utilise the analytics libraries built by the quants.

Candidates do not need to fully grasp the maths in the pricing models, and to be able reproduce equations, but instead have understanding of fundamentals behind pricing products and how the models behave under various market conditions.


Main Duties
• Liaising with trading, sales and structuring users to get pricing requirements and translating these into IT solutions that meet the exact needs of the business.

• Migration of legacy Municipal pricing sheets to use Barclays market data and analytics where applicable.

• Build out the existing in-house cross asset platform to support the pricing of Municipal derivatives.

Fuld’s Lehman ‘Peddled Junk,’ Betrayed Firm’s Founders

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-09-01/fuld-s-lehman-peddled-junk-betrayed-founders-principles-book-review.html

"Lehman’s final act became a sad morality tale familiar to students of corporate governance: A great family firm succumbed to outsiders more interested in making fast money than in providing a valuable service and building lasting wealth. Here, too, Lehman reflected broader trends, notably Wall Street’s drift from its core purpose of funneling capital from investors to companies.

This greedy reader yearned for more firsthand reporting and more sifting through archives. Yet Chapman has succeeded in holding up a mirror to America’s past -- and what its future might hold.

“Lehman Brothers was like a Zelig of modern American history,” he writes. “It has been present at almost all of the momentous occasions. It was indeed sad that it should be present at this one.”
